Lyrics: Verse 1 <br/>In my garden, my still, small space, <br/>Weeds have claimed the flower's place. <br/>My straight and narrow garden path <br/>Is choked by vice that finds the cracks <br/>In my resolve. <br/>How I regret forgetting Him! <br/>It's time to let the Gardener in. <br/> <br/>Verse 2 <br/>In my garden, my soul's repose, <br/>My pride unchecked soon overgrows. <br/>It blocks the light and heavenly dew <br/>The flowers thirst--scant filters through <br/>Pride's deathly shade. <br/>How soon neglect the sunlight dims! <br/>It's time to let the Gardener in! <br/>Chorus <br/>Behold He's knocking at the gate <br/>My heart I'll open to Him <br/>I'll grow again my sin forgiven <br/>Father grant thy perfect pardon. <br/>Behold He's knocking at the gate <br/>Christ waits with love unfailing. <br/>His hands still bear the marks so telling <br/>Of His labor in the garden. <br/> <br/>Verse 3 <br/>In my garden, now clear of sin, <br/>I'm free to walk the path again. <br/>Bright virtue blooms, sweet fragrant smell, <br/>Look! In my tree has come to dwell <br/>The Holy Dove. <br/>I'll come to hear His song again <br/>And daily let The Gardener in. <br/> <br/>Repeat Chorus
